I’ve been battling pneumonia for the last couple weeks (which explains the light posting), praying that I’ll recover in time for my away-from-internet Christmas vacation that’ll keep me from posting anything except made-ahead-of-time John Edwards facts until about the 27th of December.
Either that, or Frank’s new medications are working better than expected, so he’s been able to sublimate his “Harvey” personality.
At any rate, lolterizt! will return January 1st.
On a personal note, Zithromax Z-Pak is a worthless and inadequate medication whose approval the FDA should yank ASAP. Without this garbage’s extravagant kickbacks to health care providers, I would’ve been prescribed something effective in the first place, and not had to crawl off my death bed just to post some stupid “I won’t be posting” entry.
Apparently the Democrats are right about America’s broken Health Care System, since its numerous flaws are now spilling over and affecting Americas Conservative Humor System.

Huckabee is so awesome. And each day there’s some new awesomeness about some murderer he pardoned, how he wants to talk to Iran, or some new statement that sounds like it came from a Democratic presidential candidate. He just keeps getting so awesome you want to blow your brains out (with the awesomeness).
Seriously: Who are these Huck voting people? Where are they? Why won’t they stop? Why do they hate America?
Then again, there’s the candidate who used to be my fallback; the Republican I could settle for: Romney.
Romney was on Meet the Press Sunday and Tim Russert asked him about how the Mormon church excluded blacks from the priesthood until 1978. Romney answered by talking about how his father was big into the civil rights movement and how he broke down and cried when he heard the Mormon church changed its policy. That’s all well and good; all religions have stupid parts in their past which they’ve atoned for. But then Russert asked Romney “But it was wrong for your faith to exclude it for as long as it did?” and Romney dodged it:

“I’ve told you exactly where I stand. My view is that there–there’s, there’s no discrimination in the eyes of God, and I could not have been more pleased than to see the change that occurred.”

So he doesn’t like racism but he won’t say explicitly the Mormon church was wrong to be racist. That’s not going to play. The American people will give people leeway on their religion, but if he can’t come out and condemn a racist policy then his religion is going to be an issue and he’s not going to be electable. Plus, he looks like a coward for giving political speak on what most people would think to be a simple question.
Looking at the candidates now, I think amnesty-loving, first-amendment impeding cranky old man McCain is actually my second choice now (Joe Lieberman likes him). That’s super sad. I’d like to be able to support Giuliani with how much he fixed up New York City, but even if he I can get past him being liberal on abortion and guns and convince myself that won’t matter as president, he still has his scandals with his mistress and I just got the feeling more are coming.
Well, we don’t have to be depressed. There’s still Fred Thompson. His nomination would mean a candidate with real conservative principles, strength on the war and the border, and me being able to hock a lot of t-shirts.
Of course, I’m just putting my thoughts out on the Republican presidential primary; none of this is an endorsement. Do you think, though, as a revered conservative institution, IMAO should come out and officially make an endorsement? I like to stay above these things, but I always get the feeling the American people want us to more clearly tell them exactly what to think and do. What say you?
